West Glamorgan covers Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot and their valleys, including Gorseinon, Pontarddulais, Clydach, Ystalyfera and Briton Ferry. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the Gower National Landscape covers much of the peninsula west of Swansea. Former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-settlement fields and infill plots are typical sources of housing land, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
What decides whether a site in Clydach works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
The Planning (Wales) Act 2026 received Royal Assent on 27 April 2026 and is being brought into force in stages, consolidating Welsh planning law into a single Welsh framework.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Clydach ask
My land is in a candidate site process. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
Do you buy part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Which planning rules apply to land in Clydach?
As Clydach is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Clydach assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
